Node leadership powers

Alpha-1 Empyrean city node information panel.

The government has a lot of say in the direction of the node's development. Directing assets, building projects, tax allocation, defensive ability etc. Players have the ability to not only create these cities, but they have the right of self-governance.

Mayoral leadership powers are granted to mayors via the use of mandates.

• Initiate buy orders using gold from the node treasury.

• Initiate mayoral commissions to aid node development.

• Adjust node taxes. This includes setting tax rates that apply to tavern games.
  • Tax money may only be used to fund node development.

• Initiate service building construction and expansions.

• Improving node defensive structures, such as stronger walls and gates, traps, and siege equipment.
  • Hiring mercenary NPCs to defend the node during sieges.

• Set a message-of-the-day for the node.

• Proposing node policies that are voted on by citizens.
  • Mayors won't have formal systems to carry out surveys/polls of node citizens, but they will be able to utilize node citizen chat or message-of-the-day services.
  • Mayors may have special color names in node chat channels.

• Entering into trade agreements with other nodes.
  • Coordinate the transfer of needed supplies with citizens operating caravans.

• Mayors don't get a free home, but they do have offices in the town hall.

• Mayors cannot denote players as enemies of the state. Previously this was a potential option.

• Declaring war on another node and rallying citizens to the cause.

• Mayors are notified when their node is named on a siege declaration scroll.
  • The mayoral title unlocks special high-effect abilities and stats during sieges or events.

  Mayors and lords of castles have spells they can use on the battlefield with high effect and long cooldowns for their teams.

• Mayors will have an emblem generation suite that allows them to create their node flag.

• Mayors gain new powers and responsibilities as their node advances.

• Some leadership powers are specific to node type, biome, or dominant race, others are universal.

There definitely are differences... Some of the things that mayors can do are more universal, but then some systems have very specific if your node has a certain dominant race, or your node is a certain type, or it's in a certain biome. So there's even differences between where it is too. – Chris Justo

• Some decisions require the mayor to be present in the ZOI of the node. Most do not.

• If a mayor does not make certain decisions within a set period of time then the system will make a decision for them.

Q: The idea behind all these nodes are awesome, but I wonder how it will actually play out in the live version. The problem is having player run or the problem with having player run towns is that people come and go in video games. So, will towns die out etc?

A: We incorporate as part of those designs certain fail-safes, certain protections, certain automated progression that takes over when some of those decisions are lacking or are not made; and those decisions can be defaulted. Now, of course, that would have a deleterious effect on the direction that a particular node might want to go, because they're going to be doing default behaviors, or default actions, as opposed to something that might be in line with the strategic objective of that particular node, or the specialization that the node has previously been attempting to do. But that is why we have a regularly recurring election period where players can take the reins of power and can elect someone else to come in and participate and and re-right the ship, so to speak. So it is absolutely a component of having player-driven mechanics that there is an opportunity for things to be less than ideal, or less than strategic when certain bad-faith actors or people leave, but there are safeguards in place. – Steven Sharif

Algumas das informações a seguir não foram confirmadas recentemente pelos desenvolvedores e podem não estar no roteiro de desenvolvimento atual.

• Choosing a node name from a predetermined list.

• Guildas do not control nodes.
  • Guilds hold separate roles in the direction of the node than the roles held by private citizens.
  • Only a certain number of guilds may participate in these roles.
  • Separate guild roles are reserved for small, medium and large guilds.

Guild leadership powers =

Castle keep throne room in Alpha-1 castle sieges.

Leaders of guilds that occupy guild castles are referred to as Reis e Rainhas (also referred to as Lords).

• A King or Queen may also be elected mayor of one node.
• Lords of castles and Prefeitos unlock special high-effect abilities with long cooldowns that can be used during sieges or events.

Mayors and lords of castles have spells they can use on the battlefield with high effect and long cooldowns for their teams.

The developers are considering a number of leadership tools for guilds:

• Recruitment tools.
• Management tools.
• Delegation tools.
• Motivational systems.
• Communication tools.
  • Guild alerts.
  • Board messages.
  • In game chat.
  • Calendar (may be available via the mobile/web companion app).
• Roster.
  • Standard guild ranks (such as Líder de Guilda and officers).
  • Custom rank names.
  • A list of available permissions per rank/role.
  • Departments/micro-structures (such as battallions) within the guild structure with an associated leader.
    • Freehold permissions may be associated with these micro-structures.

The idea behind guild permissions for freeholds, is that within guilds there will be micro-structures of battallions etc. If we end up allowing guild permissions for freeholds it will likely only apply to the other members within the guild's micro-structure. – Steven Sharif

• Audit logs may be available to guild leaders and officers.
  • Deposits and withdrawals from the guild bank.
  • Promotions.
  • Kicks.
  • Leaves.
• Guild stats.
  • Information about guild membership, such as archetype and class makeup will be made available.
  • Access to guild stats is subject a permissions structure.

For me personally, being a guild leader of a very large guild in the past, these types of administrative functions are life savers for guild leaders... Guild leaders are a very important part of the community for MMORPGs in general and the reason for that is- think of it like a queen on the board- "I bring order to chaos". To a degree, guild leaders are that order to the chaos. They help organize- they do so through lieutenants- they delegate responsibilities. There are good leaders, there are bad leaders, but essentially it's a highly social environment and if you can find a good guild and that guild is augmented with complimentary services from the company, from the game itself, it just makes that life easier and allows them to execute better. So in my opinion that is an important aspect. – Steven Sharif

• Guild management tools are expected to be available at the start of Alpha-2.
